Connect for Education: Bridging the Gap for Students in Remote areas

Welcome foreign volunteers to the 111-2 Digital Learning Companion (DLC) Project.

DLC is one of the Ministry of Education's social responsibility programs to bridge the gap for students in remote areas, enhancing their communicative skills and cultural exchange through online videoconferencing. Our project has been conducted in Taiwan for 6 years with diverse participants from America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. You can find more information about DLC through FB: https://www.facebook.com/groups/192338258046135
